3/8 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress
You must really think we’re stupid. We’re going to be building a floating pier “to ferry Gaza aid”? That’s wild it corresponds with exactly where the Israel’s Energy Ministry is planning to turn Gaza’s coast into an area to produce energy and ferry in oil from the sea after oil rigs are set up. They’ve already renamed Gaza’s coast “Tekuma”. Sounds like you’re using our demands as an excuse to lay the groundwork down for Israel. You are absolutely disgusting. Do you really think we’re going to celebrate this?
Why is it airdrops or “ferried aid” are needed again? Oh yeah, because Israeli terrorists are blocking aid at the borders and instead of taking a stand against Israel’s genocide you further U.S. complicity. Those airdrops killed 5 people because parachutes failed to open. Citizens in Gaza are reporting Israeli forces are leaving behind bombs disguised as canned food to entice starving people, and then murder and maim them.
Israel dropped new leaflets yesterday, 3/7, terrorizing and mocking the people they are starving to death. The leaflets wished Gazans a “happy Ramadan, a tasty Iftar” and reminded them to feed the needy. This is what terrorism looks like.
I demand that you:
– Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Hold Israel accountable for their violations of the Genocide Convention and all other international laws by any means necessary
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law
– Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA
– Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict
– Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
– Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet

*Why are you citing reports shared on Telegram?
While Telegram channels on their own are not necessarily credible news reporting, I have found the work Praxis Redacted has done consolidating both official news sources and unofficial citizen reporting (before it becomes breaking news) to be credible, accurate, and substantiated hours or sometimes days later by mainstream news.
Since mid-October when I began following the news about the genocide (and Praxis Redacted), I have not found an incident where sources cited or descriptions used were later proved to be false. I have every reason to believe the events cited below are true.
Most Telegram posts I link will be from Praxis Redacted, but those that are not will be labeled. All of the same disclaimers apply for content warnings and my belief in the credibility of the channels cited. This is a saved text template used across posts, it’s possible no sources outside of Praxis Redacted will be used or that only other channels are cited in this petition. It is also possible that other social media posts will be cited from other platforms, and if so, they will be noted.
